Watch out for fuel saving actions, though. If the tires are properly
inflated and you drive smoothly, you will have to ride the brakes to keep
the tank from overflowing.

Re: Volkswagon unveils car that gets 282 miles to the gallon.
I dont understand why VW described it as a 6 speed manual transmission
that shifts automatically. If its a manual its a manual, if its an
automatic its automatic. It only has forward neutral and reverse so
its automatic

Re: Volkswagon unveils car that gets 282 miles to the gallon.
Just a guess:
The fluids in a traditional automatic transmission would rob that 8 HP
Evinrude of precious power. Instead, they use a manual transmission and add
electronic solenoids and switches to change the gears whenever the software
calculates the optimal (i.e. most fuel efficient) shifting point.
Maybe? But then, I'm sure Dan G would say, "All things being the same, you
don't have a clue what you are talking about."

Automatic transmission is a specific type of automatic shifting
mechanism. The normal automatic transmission has significant losses
associated with it, amounting to approx 5-10% of power throughput.
What they've done is taken a standard manual shift transmission and
strapped an automatic shifting aparatus to it.

Re: Volkswagon unveils car that gets 282 miles to the gallon.
Ahhh, but your caveat is "traditional" there are other 'automatic
transmissions' that 'shift' manually for the driver. To the operator it's
"Automatic!"
So things are -=not the same=- and it's you who doesn't have a clue!
